A Good Crop Prospect-shtpments OF
Melons and Pears.

BOSTON, GA, July 13.-The rains tnao
have fallen in abundance in this loc&i'S
during the past ten days insures GOOD corn
crop. The acreage of corn in Southwest
Georgia is quite large The yield and the
quality will be good. Cotton, too, Is good,
though there is fear that too much ram mas
fallen recently for it. l have noticed the
crop on a dozen or moro farms this week
and have vet to see one injured from 100
much rain. The prospect for peas, pindeIs,
potatoes and cane is good enough. ne
melon season, now nearing the close, mas
been an active and paying one, putting
money in circulation and "knocKhS naru
times higher than kite. "
The LeConte pear crop is proving better
than expected, both in quantity and quallty,
and is being marketed as rapidly as man
and beast can deliver il to the railroad
and express companies Pears are quoted
to-day at So per crate in Philadelphia;
There is a nice profit in them at oie-haLl Oh
these figures. Townsville has shipped up
to date in round numbers 1900 crates east
ward and two carloads west. Boston nas
shipped GOO crates and will ship perhaps 10
crates daily for the next ten days. lhese
pears are ready sale here at SOC. PEI bu. IN
bulk and 75dS5c per crate packed. " the
/, 592 carloads melons moved by the S9yan-
nah. Florida and Western ral
way up to July fully one-hah
have been grown and shipped by
Brooks and Lowndes counties. and perhaps
one fourth of the other by Thomas county.
Of this Brooks alone has shipped nearly 600
cars. Place the average of net returns at
the low figures of $50 per car and it will
readily be seen that the total is nice sum
of money With the melon and pear crops
so profitable, backed as they are by an
abundance of home supplies for man and
one of nearly clear profit to many.

uous for three weeks at the Methodist Epis-
copal church continues The pastor Rev.
Julian Jordan, has been untiring in his la

of his church and the assistance of Messrs.

A Batch of Anecdotes.
Erom the .1lnnnhn lGaN Stnr.


In a Georgia city lives a popular divine
who is liked by all classes. He is very fond
of fishing and hunting, and does not object
to telling Side-splitting anecdote occasion
ally Here is one we caught on the fly re-
Gently:
Once party went fishing. There was
some snake medicine along, and one or
more of the party took too much aboard.
In the evening a terrific storm came up.
As it was nearing the party one, more pious
than the rest knelt down at the root OF
tree and began to pray for protection.
About the same time one of those who had
tapped the Jug too often shouted:
''Come ahead, you blasted old cyclonei
Tear lis all to pieces Blow us to Halifax
Hurrah for the United States and Kincha-
fOoneep
When he closed, the humble supplicant at
the root of the tree raised his Mortified face
to heaven and cried:
''Oh, Lord. don't mind what that con
founded crazy fool is saying. He is blind
drunk, as you can see for yourself, and he
don't belong to the church, noway."
ANOTHER.
Parson F., another popular divine, tells
the following good one:
A negro woman, during slavery days, had
Joined the church number of times, only
to be turned out for misbehavior. She had
Just Joined again, and her master, a pious
man, inquired:
'Jane do you think you will stick this
timer
'Yas, boss, I hab strong hopes in dat
erection now
Ibid you go to Jesus for helpT'
''Mea Dat | didn't | went to de head
Boss dis time. Jesus am only his SON."
STILL ANOTHER.
nou,,, OF Habrop chnrnb mar JoCy,a,- Flo
lives Primitive divine who was once
missionary Baptist preacher. One Sunday,
before preaching a Missionary Baptist, a
member of the church of which the preacher
formerly had charge, asked him why he
had forsaken them and gone over to the
Primitive church. He did not reply at
once, but when he got up in the
pulpit to preach, he saw quite a number of
his former congregation before him, and
then decided to inform them why he made
the change. He told them that he would
illustrate the cause by relating an anecdote,
which he did about as follows:
He was riding along one day and came to
a house, in the front yard of which was
bright looking little boy playing with
number of puppies. He asked
MY little man, what kind of puppies are
those?'
They're Missionary Baptist puppies
promptly replied the boy.
The preacher rode on, studying the while
over the queer name the little boy had
given the puppies. On the return trip he
overlook Primitive Baptist divine not far
from the little boys home, and proposed
that they stop and talk with the little boy
Hating at the gate he called the child and
asked him to bring out his puppies. He did
so and the Primitive Baptist preacher
asked:
What kind of puppies are those, my
childF
They're Primitive Baptist puppies" he
replied.
"You told me awhile ago that they were
Missionary Baptist puppies" said the aston
ished missionary brother.
''They was then, because they didn't have
their eyes open when you passed, but since
you passed their eyes have opened and they
are now Primitive Baptist puppies"

HARRISON Banner: On Monday evening
about , o'clock. during a thunder shower,
the house of Mr. L. T. Smith, who lives
near the railroad, two and a half miles east
OF Bremen, was struck 10y lightning. Mrs.
Williams, a daughter of Mr. Smith, an in
mate of the house, and her sister Fannie,
girl of II years of age, were seated on the
veranda on the north side of the building at
the time of the shock The floor was torn
foot, tearing her shoe and stocking into
shreds. After Mrs. Williams recovered
from the shock she found Fannie PROSTATE
and lifeess upon the floor beside her chair.
Amid this awful perplexity she thought of
her little babe, some two weeks old, that
she had left in crib in an adjoining
room. Leaving her lifeless sister, she made
her way to the crib. On reaching the room
she found the bedding in the crib on fire;
snatching the child from the flames, she
clasped 1t to her bosom with heart full of
thankfulness for its deliverance. BY this
time the other members Of the family had
recovered from the shock. Fannie was
breathing, but otherwise unconscious. The
electric shock seemed to have pervaded
every part of the building, tearing holes
through the walls as though riddled by can
non balls. Two guns were III a room of the
building whose stocks were shivered into
spinters One was loaded; the cap burst,
but failed TO go off. 1t visited the pantry,
breaking the crockery, and remarkable to
say, turning the baking pans inside out.
Under the house several fowls were killed
that, perhaps, sought shelter there from the
shower, The wonder is that any of the
family escaped death.
